DOCTOR WHO: JODIE WHITTAKER 'TO REGENERATE DURING 2022 SPECIALS'

Jodie Whittaker will return as The Doctor in Series 13, set to air on BBC One this Autumn.

Series 13 was cut from 10 to 8 episodes due to filming restrictions, but new reports suggest this gap will be filled with two special episodes in 2022 - which will see Jodie's 13th Doctor regenerate into the 14th Doctor.

A source told The Mirror: "As ever bosses are staying tight-lipped about what they have planned, but with filming still ongoing they clearly have plans for episodes to be playing out much later into 2022 – so there’s still more to come for Jodie’s Doctor."

The Official Doctor Who 2022 Annual does not feature Jodie on the cover. A source told The Mirror: “Every Doctor Who annual since 1964 has featured the current Doctor so this is a big departure for them. It’s surely no coincidence that it’s happened just as she’s on the way out.”

The BBC declined to comment on speculation.
